I take it that the 'Message' field is the Memo field? If so, try
selecting that one last in the query...

SELECT
Max(Messages.TimeStamp) As NewMessage,
Topics.Topic,
Messages.Message
FROM
Messages INNER JOIN Topics ON Messages.TopicID=Topics.ID
GROUP BY
Topics.Topic,
Messages.Message

Other than that???

HTH,

Subject: Access memo fields truncated in GROUP BY?

Something I hadn't noticed before.  What's up with Access, Memo fields,
and
joins?

If you include a memo field in a GROUP BY it gets truncated to 255
chars...
not the desired effect here.  If I remove the MAX() ..and then don't
require
the GROUP BY then the field is not truncated...

If there is a solution I would love to hear it.  (feeling perplexed)

(the simplified non-working query)

<cfquery datasource="forum" name="GetForumInfo" debug>
  SELECT
    Messages.Message,
    Max(Messages.TimeStamp) As NewMessage,
    Topics.Topic
  FROM
    Messages INNER JOIN Topics ON Messages.TopicID=Topics.ID
  GROUP BY
    Topics.Topic,
    Messages.Message
</cfquery>
